By the way, we may fight me, but I do believe that Christians should consider adoption A LOT, even if you already have your desired number of Children.

Medical chiefs, have you guys figured the hack for managing internal hotness in young people?

in my head it’s healthier to drink viju choco than to drink coke

That boy's death was preventable. Government hospitals should have antivenoms and backup power supply.

Rule no 1 for clinical peace of mind; never tell your patients in advance that you’re going to discharge them. 😔

Patient came to the Antenatal Clinic, saw a house office eating gala and jokingly asked to share with him. The HO obliged and gave her . That evening she was admitted through the ER for Preterm contractions. During the rounds the next day, she kept asking the SR and Consultant if what happy to her had anything to do with eating gala. These patients are not your friends or family members, let your kindness be very limited when you see them. They won't mind if the license that took you years of tears and blood is burnt in a minute. They will turn to the next Doctor with a valid. Be Reasonable and wise!

The Triple Regimen for H. Pylori is now obsolete. A quadruple regimen of PPI (Omeprazole/Lansoprazole, metronidazole, tetracycline and bismuth is recommended.

A house officer’s nightmare: Korope by 12am

One of the reasons I couldn’t do psychiatry is because I’m too empathetic. Constantly being exposed to it will have me become depressed myself. I still struggle with the random homeless people I see on my way to work everyday, it’s a lot.

I pray that God blesses me with a set of twins when I am finally ready to have kids.

This whole anti venom situation is funny because one House officer is trekking from Cher to Newborn to borrow Glucometer as I am typing this.

Around 12 noon today, a couple rushed into Medicine Casualty holding their 3-year-old. The child had fallen off a table; his wrist was visibly deformed, likely a clean break. He was crying inconsolably, surrounded by 4 or 5 frantic relatives. "Doctor, treat my child fast!" they shouted. I immediately assessed the situation. As a Medicine resident, I am neither an orthopedician nor a pediatrician. I knew that I was not in a position to manage this situation. I calmly told them: "This is Medicine Casualty. Please turn left, the Orthopedic Casualty is right there. Since you have many people with you, have one person take the child there immediately while another goes to the counter for a ticket so the doctors can order X-rays and meds." That’s when the shouting started. "You good-for-nothing doctors! Can’t you see this is an emergency? Why do we need a ticket?" My junior rushed over to help, only to be met with threats: "Treat him immediately or things will get bad for you." Then, the phones came out. Cameras were shoved in our faces. "Look at these doctors refusing to treat a child!" Here is the context a 30-second viral video would miss: 1. I was directing them to the correct specialist only 3 minutes away. 2. Without a hospital ID/ticket, the Ortho team can't even log an X-ray request into the system. 3. Staying in Medicine Casualty was actually delaying the child's care. To de-escalate, I eventually had to leave my own post unattended to personally escort them to the Ortho wing and explain the situation to the doctors there. Hours later, after the child was stabilized, the family returned to apologize. I appreciate the apology, but the damage of those "recorded" moments lingers. This is the daily reality for doctors: being vilified for following the very protocols that ensure a patient gets the right treatment from the right specialist. Before you share a "doctor refusing treatment" video, ask yourself: Are they refusing, or are they trying to get the patient to the help they actually need?

A good time to make this spread and trend again……. Let’s go ! Jesus just has to be who He says He is. No one gives this joy that He gives. We celebrate our king, JESUS !

The cure for sickle cell disorder is now available at sickle cell foundation Nigeria, LUTH. 🥺

After treating you, you decided to abscond without paying your bills. Somehow, you got picked up and brought back to the hospital. Another patient relative is now asking us for permission to beat you up and we've been begging him since. The drama in trenches is unending.
